بَابُ مَا جَاءَ فِي جُلُوسِ الْخَصْمَيْنِ أَمَامَ الْقَاضِي
Chapter: What has been reported regarding the litigants sitting before the judge
Hadith 6411
عَنْ مُصْعَبِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ كَانَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ خُصُومَةٌ، فَدَخَلَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْعَاصِ وَعَمْرُو ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ مَعَهُ عَلَى السَّرِيرِ، فَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ لِعَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ: هَا هُنَا، فَقَالَ: لَا، قَضَاءُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ سُنَّةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِنَّ الْخَصْمَيْنِ يَقْعُدَانِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْحَكَمِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mus'ab bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a dispute between Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) and his brother Sayyiduna Amr bin Zubair (may Allah have mercy on him). Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both) went to Sa'id bin As (may Allah be pleased with him), while Sayyiduna Amr bin Zubair (may Allah have mercy on him) was sitting with him on the bed. Sayyiduna Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Come here," but he replied: "No, we will adopt the method of judgment of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) or the Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and that is that both parties sit before the judge."
